Chapter 58: A Familiar Boss
The first seller of Taiwei Dragon Wood only owned 1.2 meters of wood and did not meet the requirements for Yujing forged gun barrels, so the second supplier with 3 meters of intact wood was contacted directly. The other party is not an individual, but a secret organization that specializes in selling rare materials.
The meeting took place at a public exchange.
A black-robed man in a mask waited for the two of them to arrive.
"I didn't expect Lord Zhan to be interested in this [Taiwei Dragon Wood], since you want to buy it, a certain discount is indispensable 8,000 black coins per meter, how about a total of 24,000 black coins for three meters? Lord Zhan shouldn't care about this little money, after transferring the money, go directly to the storage warehouse to get the goods. ”
"I want to see the goods first."
Yujing is not the only choice of [Taiwei Dragon Wood], so I want to see how this wood is.
"Do you want to see the goods first? Yes, come with me. ”
The black-robed man led the two to the private warehouse in the exchange, and ordered the two warehouse staff to transport the [Taiwei Dragon Wood] out. The pale red and thick trunk of the tree, the bark on the surface is very similar to the dragon scales, and the whole body also exudes a faint dragon atmosphere.
"[Taiwei Dragon Wood] is produced in the Taiwei Mountains in the northwest of China, the area inhabited by the once extinct dragon clan, the local dragon veins still exist, and in the endless forests, there will be a 1 in 10,000 chance that the root end of a certain tree will be rooted into the dragon vein because of coincidence, absorbing the essence of the dragon vein and growing into a dragon tree.
However, the dragon veins are not as majestic as they once were, and the branches of the trees contain very few dragon veins, and only the main trunk can be called [Taiwei Dragon Wood]. ”
"This kind of wood is hard enough to be equal in weight to metal materials. Because it is mixed with dragon veins, the bark is in the shape of dragon scales, which is suitable for making dragon scale soft armor, and is outstanding in physical defense and fire attribute defense effects. The heart of the tree, which is mixed with the main dragon veins, can also be made into the barrel of a spear or spear, allowing the weapon to carry the dragon power and increase its attack power. ”
"Yes, it's very good."
Yu Jing's palm touched the bark of the tree like steel dragon scales, and the alien plant quickly analyzed all the tree trunks, which had met Yu Jing's requirements for the material of the gun barrel. It has to be said that this kind of wood mixed with dragon veins is a perfect match for "dragon teeth".
"How's that, a cash deal?"
"We'll get back to you in an hour."
Yu Jing also planned to go and see the [Heavenly Star Demon Wood], and turned around with Zhan Ling to leave the warehouse. Such a move made the black-robed man in the mask very dissatisfied, but because of Zhan Ling's existence, this dissatisfaction did not dare to show it.
"7,000 black coins of the "Early Ghost Stage" kid, don't let me meet you alone in the suburbs."
…………
"If you go to someone else's warehouse to inspect the goods like this, and you don't want to delay it, it will make the other party quite unhappy." Zhan Ling said lightly.
"The production of spears must choose the best wood, and I am very interested in the record of [Heavenly Star Demon Wood] in the 'Yan Xiao Pavilion', and I will compare it after learning about the actual situation of [Taiwei Dragon Wood], so that I can choose the best gun material...... Besides, isn't there Sister Ling supporting me? ”
"You junior brother."
Zhan Ling didn't blame Yu Jing at all, but admired Yu Jing's character of not being surprised and pursuing perfection.
The supplier of [Celestial Star Demon Wood] requested a meeting place in a small ordinary shop in the black market, with the word 'Grocery Store' written on the door.
For some reason, when Yu Jing stepped into this small shop, he had a very familiar feeling, and he always felt that he had been to a similar place.
The boss standing in the small shop was actually an acquaintance of Yujing, who was not long ago, in the second team battle of the sophomore year, Boss Pei, who was in charge of the hot spring hotel, Pei Ghost.
"Boss Pei?"
Boss Pei signed an agreement with the school and was under the management of Dihua University, so it should be said that he should be active on campus. But thinking about it the other way, since the school has signed an agreement with the ghosts, it is completely normal to arrange eyeliner in the dark forces.
"Yujing...... This is Lord Zhan! ”
Boss Pei, who wore thousands of thick eyes, didn't expect that standing next to Yu Jing was actually one of the top few big people in the dark forces in the imperial capital.
"What? Do you know? ”
Zhan Ling didn't expect that Yu Jing would know the B-level ghosts in the dark forces of the imperial capital, and he was a small boss in the black market.
"Yes, I had a chance to meet Yujing. I didn't expect that the treasures of our town store would be Lord Zhan and Yu Jing. Please come with me, the [Celestial Star Demon Wood] is too precious, so I just hung the news anonymously in the 'Yan Xiao Pavilion', so as not to make any big names trouble me." ”
It looks like a small shop, but it has a hole in the inside.
This boss Pei seems to have the ability to construct buildings, and the hot spring inn in the mountains is a good example. After passing through a secret passage, he arrived at the iron door of a certain secret room, and after passing the special identity verification, Boss Pei spit out a two-toothed key stained with gastric juice from his mouth to open the secret room.
As soon as he entered the room, Yu Jing felt a sense of danger, as if there was some kind of monster moving inside.
In the square room, the floor is paved with a damp soil, and the roof of the room is hung with a lighting installation that emits a blue glow, and a black tree with twisted roots grows in the very center of the room.
Strangely, the leaves on the branches of this black demon tree are not solid green, but are composed of small starlight dots, illusory and beautiful. This is also the key to this tree's call [Celestial Star Demon Wood].
"Growing living trees?"
This kind of living tree rooted in the earth is much better than the [Taiwei Dragon Wood] that has been cut down before, just like the difference between a living person and a dead corpse.
"Ghost Pei, is there another buyer? I don't know what it will taste like. ”
Suddenly, a mouth spouted on the pitch-black tree trunk, which made Zhan Ling show a curious gaze.
"Is there a wraith in this tree?" Yu Jing asked.
"It's not a lodged demon, but the tree itself is a demon, right?" Zhan Ling said.
"Lord Zhan's eyes are like torches, and the Celestial Star is a dryad I saved ten years ago. Because it is relatively unique, as a material, it is the best quality, even the best. If it's discovered, it's going to be hunted down, so I'm here to raise it. ”
"Why sell it?" Yu Jing asked puzzled.
"Actually, the Celestial Star itself can't tell whether it's a demon or a tree. Living in this room every day, the feeling of being deprived of my liberty was very uncomfortable, and it was it that it proposed that I sell it...... Of course, the prerequisite is to be able to find a 'suitable' buyer. ”
